C.R.E.A.M/Johnny Blaze Round 3....
Whoops sorry, jumped the gun

[Isura]

Early predication: MILF loser's bracket, I'm taking this title down. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[kiddj]

Could someone post the times when these matches are taking place? I'd like to watch them while i'm playing, if they are going on at an optimal time for me.

[MrWookie47]

Just watch this thread. Most people announce when their match is. Barring that, just sign on to Stars and look for a game where the stacks add up to $4. It's probably a 2+2 match, since most people sit down with less money.

2+2=$4...very clever! Will do, thanks!

[MrWookie47]

While I'd love to talk smack about taking you down en route to my MILF losers bracket championship, aren't you in the CHUMP bracket?

[MrWookie47]

Hey, that's a pretty interesting coincidence, actually. The stack sizes were determined due to demand for 50 BB stack sizes, not because of an obscure 2+2 reference, but that's kind of cool how it worked out.

[TomBrooks]

There is a match going on now on table Mekbuda. PokerStar names: MAST... vs. icfish.. Don't know there 2+2 names though.

[tiltaholic]

just as an aside, in the lobby it usually views at $2 and $1, since the lobby window rounds the stack sizes off.

or just type chump? in the chat and the players will let you know if they are 2+2...

[kiddj]

Thanks, too bad i'm at work. There's no policy against playing or watching online poker here, but I'd hate to be the cause of such a rule. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[scotty34]

How long do we have to complete this. We have played part of our match, but it was going late into the night, and we decided to complete it later. We havent found a good time for us both since. If we miss the deadline, I said he could take the W, as he was slightly ahead when we stopped.

[Nfinity]

Me and k000k are tentatively gettin' it on at 10:30 tonight. I suppose thats EST.

50 big bets of non-escalating blinds is fairly insane. How long have these matches been taking? (I'm playing now on Hugo)

jesus christ.... they should revamp the structure for the last X rounds.

[DMBFan23]

yeah my first match was 150 hands and was manageable time-wise. I suggest a 2 hour limit for myself and DocMartin's third round match, if he is cool wit dat.

yeah there should be some sort of sudden death round at about 2 hours...

long, tough match. lots of back and forth. after 90 minutes or so, even for the umpteenth time, we decide to consider the $1.00 as $0.00. Anywho, I eventually squeaked by. Thanks for a good match.

[bottomset]

ok regarding match length

I will leave that upto the you guys on a match to match basis, if you both agree to say a 2hr lime limit, or a smaller stack I have no problems with it .. the base rule set will remain the same

it was meant as a fun tourney, I don't want it to become painful to play the matches

[BatsShadow]

After 294 hands and 97 minutes, DeathDonkey offically forfeited the match. I feel a little bad about it, but I was in the lead and had previously had him all in twice.

BTW, can you fix the bracket and give me back my second 's' in my name?

I stand corrected. I can't even talk trash correctly in this tourney.

[TomBrooks]

Good match. Good tourney. 50BBs can take a long time though. After about 90minutes BoomBoom and I agreed to 25BB as he said and it went a tad over 2 hrs overall. Increasing blinds would be really cool if there is a site that offers that. Something to look into for the future maybe.

[BottlesOf]

We did a HULA at a site that had this feature. ThePokerClub maybe? This was about a year ago. Other than that, the particiapnts could agree to cut their stacks in half after an hour.

[Nfinity]

I don't know what you guys are complaining about. Me and k000k got our match over with in about 15min.

Long story short. I gots pwned.

At least I got to let out a triumphant w00t as I successfully stop-and-goed my flopped Aces up into his Jacks up. Good times.

mmbt0ne, I think I have some monies that belong to you. PM me and let me know where they go.

[ClaytonN]

Complete and udder fcking joke, the run of cards tonight.

I was demolished by the deck, and gt123 whipped me up good.

I'm still a little peeved, though, as he managed to outflop and river me at a disturbing ratio.

It was a good game, but the other side of me is just so disappointed and frustrated that luck was such a big factor in this match.

That said, gg gt123 and good luck. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I don't really like how either of you played this hand. I'm definitely no expert at HU but BB should be raising pf and Hero should be playing this faster, at least raise the turn.

[dozer]

the first one I was trying ot bluff you, but caught a draw on the turn and hit the river to complete the one card draw. /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

the second one, I had to call you, you were pretty much all-in on the flop.

wait...why didnt hero go bananas during this hand?

[dozer]

yes I know I screwed this hand up, but I don't like auto raising on the button everytime.

I should't have tried and slowplay this hand. Happens when you flop a straight flush though. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[ClaytonN]

If it's worth anything, I'm calling down that board, You wouldn't have gotten much more out of me.

I don't get why I didn't raise the K9. doh.

[dozer]

I was thinking if I raise on the turn, you might fold if you were trying to pick up the pot sensing weakness, but might bet the river and then I could raise you then.

If I bet the flop would you have called?

[ClaytonN]

i check call all the way down. The hands you have that beat me raise and reraise, while the worse hands slow down to resistance.

I honestly feel bad about those, every time he had it, I seemed to pull this magic rabbit out of my hat.

[Sarge85]

Regarding match length:

I don't think altering the setup now is a good call - but it's your gig and I am enjoying it.

For future tournaments of this nature, which would work better?

1) Smaller starting stacks
2) Escalting blinds
3) Set time limit - at the end of that limit the person with the most chips win?

Sarge/images/graemlins/diamond.gif

[MrWookie47]

I think I like the stack size at 50 BB. It allowed me to prolong my whoopin from Donkey long enough to have hopefully learned something. I think shortening it more than that by default is letting variance play too much of a part and shortchanging the learning experience that was a huge part of why this tournament was started. However, if the match is getting arduous, I think that the two players can agree to something - shorter stack concede, getting you down to $1 is getting you down to $0, something like that.

Welp, I finally tilted away the last of my 2 bucks at that fucking table.

Story of the match:

I'm dealt a strong ace, bt has a stronger ace, I am forced to call down because the flop only has one high card and is paired, double paired, or has three of a kind on board. He always has the high card.

I get a pair, I am raised somewhere by a hand without a pair, I call, and he turns or rivers a pair.

I have an ace on an extremely low card board and he somehow capped preflop with 24 and paired his 2 and has called down.

I call in the bb with 76 or so, flop top pair and raise/call down/whatever and he has a pocket pair higher than my pair.

I probably cussed about 58 times during the match.*

afk (playing raise or fold - i accidentally called once or twice without thinking, checking allowed) defeats maurader in 47 hands. The deck hit me on the head really hard. He played he strong hands well but I just sucked out and if there was a card I needed, I got it pretty much every time.

Battle in progress.

TripleH vs. tiltaholic. Algol.

[TripleH68]

tiltaholic over TripleH in 251 hands.

Triple comes back from all-in to get even, then loses. But does drink four beers in the course of the match. Not bad.

Lesson: you cannot win by folding a lot.

Congrats to tilt, a rivering fool who made a lot of str8s. Though I had the hand of the match, quad 8s.

[tiltaholic]

heh. yeah.
i made so many straights, i missed two of them...

good game. and props for coming all the way back from allin.

I stand corrected. It was 33 hands. And yes, Sarge is one lucky mofo. I only had time to pair up on a handful of flops, and on those, he 3-bet bluffraised me then paired up on the turn or river a few times.

black aces and i took the word loser to another level. i managed to prevail to advance down the long and winding road to embarassment. gg dude, i was rafting down that river allll day. but you raised WAY too much PF and folded to my river raises too often. if you only knew how many pots i bluffed...of course, you may have missed everything also, but still. gg tho. peace

[Black Aces 518]

Baha, I was going to say the same, I thought you folded the river too much.

Final Pot: 11 BB

He had AQ.

I got luckboxed in back to back 10BB pots with 4 outers on the river. had KK flop is 345, turn 4, river 6, irish has 10-7, then I have Js6s, flop is 6-spade-spade, cap flop, i raise turn, river is A to match his red AQ. Barf. I had about ten million hands where I would flop mid pair and open ender, get called by nothing, miss my draws and he turns/rivers a higher pair to win. Also, he disconnected with 10c-xc and I had Jc-7c and the board made a club flush, I won .02 lol. Oh well, gg and gl.

And if you think I raise too much preflop, you ain't seen nothin' yet with some of these guys.

[irishpint]

oh im sure ill get worked later on. still fun tho. and that flush draw was ROUGH. i am usually so pissed at my wireless when it does that but that saved me a few cents. thanks for being a good sport about it- obviously it wasn't intentional.

I believe my PF call was loose if viewed in isolation. But I didn't want wookie to get away with PFRing my BB more often that about 35% of the time, so here I called.

As for the rest of the hand, I deliberitely (sp) played soft. I wanted to ensure it was shown down. I haven't gotten a SF in 50k hands, and wanted to gloat. You can safely assume I wouldn't necesarrily play this way normally.

Eh, I wasn't saying that. But some of these guys are on autocap preflop lol. My first match, I don't think he literally once didn't raise the button. I probably raised the button ~60%. It was definitely a different flow this time, and it was hard for me to adjust.

The disconnect was clearly unintentional, I hope everyone knows that's not what I was saying. Hell, it was still preflop, if it was intentional, I'm more concerned about your pattern mapper. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

No, it was just symbolic of my overall frustration as I missed every good draw, and there was one finally to come through and I win a SB.

The preflop call isn't that loose at all. I'm defending with 74s 100% of the time, and 3-betting approximately 30% of the time.

Also, I know you wanted to see a showdown, but I really like a c/r on this flop because regardless of what your opponent is holding, he should almost never be folding to a flop c/r here.

which I dominated for the most part but at the 200hand mark, fatigue really set in and I started superdonking

gave up the chip lead, convinced my opponent to cap all streets and then won 8of 11 cap fests to finish it

Well, it's over.

I can't honestly say whether you outplayed me or not. I think you caught a pair on the turn just about every time I had the best hand on the flop, but your ability to call down with Ace high was second to none. Good game.

That last hand sucked, though, BTW (not in how you played it -- you played it fine. It just flat out sucked.). /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Was a pretty back and forth match, that had us tied after 230ish hands before I went on a nice rush and finished him off.

One of the key hands involved my AQ vs his AT and an xxAAx board. Lots of bets went in on that one and it was probably the hand that broke his back.

[sin808]

187 hands, I was a total luckbox tonight. I did try to play my best, and with what little HU game I have I thought I managed to play ok. Had the deck not hit me so hard it probably would have been a very different story. I will say that you seemed to end up calling down my good hands and folding to most of my bluffs. I got lucky on the turn or river ALOT though too.
It was good fun, I wish I could run that well all the time /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Shillx]

187 hands, I was a total luckbox tonight.

No. You actually played very well against me (preflop wise) . I could not put you on a hand preflop since you basically raised or limped randomly. There was one hand where you limped with an ace and showed it down and won, so then I tried to get a read on you by raising every BB after you limped. Not once did you reraise (at 1st at least) yet you still showed down hands worthy of a call-reraise. So from that point on, I kinda thought that you weren't raising good hands preflop, and I started to limp on the button with monsters and then raise everything else. Unfortunatly everytime I limped with AJ or KK you would check preflop and then check/fold the flop. I didn't have enough time to start mixing my limping strategy to setup lots of steals since it kept going limp-check with Q3 and have the flop come AQx (and I think I'm golden) and see you have A7 at showdown. Well played.

Brad

[sin808]

Cool. I tried to mix up my pf play just enough to keep you off balance, but not so much as to be obvious. I also went and read the dialog regarding your match with SCfuji to get an idea of what your play was like once I found out we were playing.
Postflop didn't work out as well (as far as my play, imo). I did try my best, thankfully hitting the turn alot offset my lack of HU skills. I missed quite a few bets when I had a hand, but I stole a few pots bluff 3 betting the turn. You did a real good job of extracting max value from me when you had a big hand though.

I'm going to catch hell for this, but I have virtually no free time next week so I won't be able to play in any more CHUMP matches. My apologies to SomethingClever and my Loser's Bracket opponent but I'm deluged with responsibilities from college and work and have no significant spans of free time next week. :\

I'll be honest and say that I'll probably find time to work off a Party/Interpoker bonuses but that can be done anytime in the next few days - if I'm only free one evening next week, that's not fair to force other people to schedule around me.

In the future, I will be more mindful of my schedule before signing up for these events - fun as it is, poker takes a back seat to the other crap in my life.

If you don't have time to play any more matches, I will forge ahead, but if I money in this thing, I'm going to have to play you HU for a sub-portion of the prize.

Of course, I seriously doubt I'll money.

Onward!

After a lot of connection problems on both ends, adsman and I finally got around to finish our match. I won with KJ against K4 when a K spiked on the river.

He generously forget to mention that he had a J paired on the flop. I have to say this HU stuff is tough. This competition is my first experience of it. mmbtOne is a very tricky opponent and my hat is off to him. Losers bracket here I come.

Isura fights back (via the 3 outers) from an all-in to get back to 1.50, then proceeds to tilt away the 1.50 in the last 50 hands or so.

SJFuji takes out k000k in 93 hands, nice job hitting those boards,

VPIP &gt; VPIPSB?

[Shillx]

nice job hitting those boards

I really hope that the best player wins this thing, but this is probably playing a bigger factor then I first imagined (unless you really go back to fit or fold). If you are mixing it up a lot, 50 BB can go away in a heartbeat when the boards aren't hitting.

[wyoak]

are shadow and cooker ever going to play? i'm looking forward to losing again!

Looks like someone didn't read S&amp;M's CFFAP (Coin Flipping For Advanced Players). /images/graemlins/frown.gif

In other news: If Toss turns out the be the CHUMP, he has decided to enter next years rock-paper-scissors championship. Clearly something a real chump would love to participate in. /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

So can we get round 3 started yet, or are we waiting for all of round 2 matches to finnish first?

I really liked the structure until the finals. The 200/400 blinds with 160K stacks was some good ish to wacth. The big 4000/8000 stacks with 640k behind was pretty lame though since it turned into a crap shoot quickly. If they started with 1k/2k blinds and played a 1 match freezeout it would have been better imo.

Good game. I did catch an unusual amount of monsters though. If only I had thought about this "monster catching" strategy earlier, I wouldn't be in the losers bracket.

I bet if I sat down at a HU table right now and tried to lose 50 BB within 70 hands I wouldn't be able to do it.

Not even close, I did it in 39 and I think Sarge did it in 35. Took 15 minutes.

Over 1000 hands and 5 hours though, THAT is insane.

[Cooker]

I already played shadow (Friday night). I won. I PMed botttom set about this already, but it hasn't been updated in the bracket yet. I assume we can go ahead and play our match if you want to. Send me a PM.

[TomBrooks]

itsmesteve bested me tonight in the second round MILF 1 loss bracket, in 218 hands in 1:55. He will move on to meet GrunchCan or milesdyson. Good luck, Steve.

I will look forward to the next tournament this summer. Thanks to bottomset for organizing this one.
